On the 7th of October, nearly 200 students descended on Franklin's Gardens for a day of fun, team building, and rugby. The day was organized so that the students could meet the businesses that would be assisting them throughout their year with Hitz. As well as this, it gave the businesses themselves an opportunity to meet face to face with the students that they would be helping. An integral part of what the Hitz programme offers is the ability for students to go on work experience placements. Many of these placements will be arranged with the businesses that came, and so the day was also an opportunity to help the students put faces to many of the names they will hear during their work placements.
